After the return of the three national treasures to the motherland, the group company held exhibitions in more than ten big cities and Taiwan Province Province. People from all walks of life and the masses visited the exhibition more than 4 million times, which brought great reputation to the group company and the museum.

The whereabouts of the head of the snake, the head of the chicken, the head of the dog and the head of the sheep are unknown, and the bronze statue of the animal head in Yuanmingyuan has become a symbol of the loss of overseas cultural relics in Yuanmingyuan.
The Advisory Committee of Poly Art Museum is composed of more than 40 well-known experts and scholars, including,, Su Bai, Ma Chengyuan, Li Xueqin, Wang, Shi Shuqing, Jin Weinuo, Geng,, Li Qianbo and Tang Chi.

It is estimated that the "Ju Yin Shi" atlas officially published in June+10 this year will also be compiled by a group of well-known scholars in Chinese mainland.
The collection of cultural relics in Poly Art Museum strives to be rigorous and accurate, and a set of cultural relics collection methods has been formed in practice. Take the collection of overseas cultural relics as an example. Because Poly Group has a high reputation and credibility at home and abroad, it can first bring cultural relics back to Beijing free of charge, and then invite more than three well-known scholars from Beijing and Shanghai to personally inspect and appraise them, provide opinions and issue appraisal certificates. After these experts agree that the cultural relics are genuine and meet the requirements of museum collection, they will negotiate the price with the owner and then pay; If the expert opinions cannot be unified or negotiated, they shall be returned as they are. This way of collection ensures that the museum's collections are true, high, refined and sharp.

The "China Stone Carved Buddha Exquisite Exhibition", through more than 40 stone carved Buddha statues from the Northern Dynasties to the Tang Dynasty (from the 5th century to the 8th century), outlines the charm of China's Buddhist art at its peak.

The ancient bronze civilization in China began in the summer and flourished in the Shang and Zhou Dynasties. Brilliant 10 for more than a century. Because it is used to reflect the hierarchical status, it is widely used in the etiquette exchange activities of the aristocratic class, such as offering sacrifices to ancestors and entertaining guests, and is called a ritual vessel. Bronze ware became an important symbol of social civilization at that time. Almost every bronze ware condensed the talents and creations of ancestors and became outstanding works of art. Although it has been over a thousand years, many bronzes still have infinite artistic appeal, which makes people sigh and admire. Since the establishment of 1998, Poly Art Museum has taken the collection and exhibition of ancient Chinese bronzes with historical and artistic value seriously, and determined the policy of seeking perfection, not much, but exquisiteness, rarity and rarity. At present, most of the bronzes collected are from overseas, which basically covers all aspects of bronze art from Shang and Zhou Dynasties to Tang Shuang at that time.
Talking from burning Yuanmingyuan
1860, British and French troops invaded Beijing. While robbing Beijing, they also broke into Yuanmingyuan, which is known as the "Garden of Ten Thousand Gardens", and set fire to this famous royal garden. 140 years later, Poly Art Museum rescued and protected three national treasures of Yuanmingyuan-the bronze statues of the bull's head, the tiger's head and the monkey's head, which are about to be lost again in Hong Kong. When the "National Tour Exhibition of Yuanmingyuan National Treasures" held by the Museum was exhibited in more than 20 central cities in China and Taiwan Province Province, countless people's emotions set off waves of heat waves.
There is no greater shame than national humiliation. The fire in Yuanmingyuan still burns the hearts of China people. However, the "China Ancient Bronze Art Exhibition" and "China Ancient Stone Carving Buddha Exhibition" of Poly Art Museum have given Chinese people unprecedented pride. Here, many rare products and orphan products meet you for the first time: San Niu Tau Animal Face in Shang Dynasty, Shi Zun, Holy Face in Western Zhou Dynasty, Zuo Shouding in Wang Zuo, Cup in Sui Palace, Feng Shouping Cup and chime in Rong Sheng, which show the development course and unique charm of ancient bronze civilization in China; More than 40 stone-carved Buddha statues from the Northern Dynasties to the Tang Dynasty (from the 5th century to the 8th century) outline the artistic style of Buddhism in China in its heyday. Among them, a number of Buddha statues carved in Qingzhou, Shandong Province during the Northern Dynasties (from the 6th century to the 7th century A.D.) are rare because of their exquisite workmanship and well-preserved.
